Friction Reducer


1)Applications


  • High-rate hydraulic fracturing operations using freshwater to high-TDS brine and produced water 

  • Openhole or cased hole completions 

  • Refracturing operations 

  • Hydraulic fracturing operations in shale, carbonate, tight sand, and coalbed methane reservoirs 

    Producers and injectors

3) What it replaces 


As a replacement for conventional friction reducers and guar-based linear gel fluids, the high-salinity is more sustainable and improves production performance.


4) Advantages


  • The high-salinity friction reducer is a copolymer powder that hydrates rapidly into solution on contact with water at or above to enable hydraulic fracturing with any water source, from freshwater to very high-salinity water. 

  • At low concentrations (0.12 to 0.36 g/L), the high-salinity friction reducer can be used as a friction reducer for high rate slickwater treatments. 

  • At high loadings, the high-salinity friction reducer generates higher viscosities than conventional friction reducing agents, improving proppant transport.

  • It provides cost-effective and simpler operations with a single additive.




Thickener for Fracturing 


1) Introduction


This product is a kind of solid powder or emulsion of polyacrylamide copolymer, which is used in water-based fracturing fluid to reduce the friction coefficient when the fracturing fluid flows, thereby reducing pressure loss. This powder or emulsion drag reducer product can disperse and dissolve quickly in water, and has a fast effect, and can be applied to on-site mixing equipment. In addition, this series of products also have good resistance to salt, which can be suitable for the re-injection of fracturing fluids that flow back.

3) What it replaces 


Common fracturing fluid thickener are not effective in high temperature and high salt concentration formation.


4) Advantages


  • At low concentrations (0.12 to 0.36 g/L), the high-salinity friction reducer can be used as a friction reducer for high rate slickwater treatments. 

  • At high loadings, the high-salinity friction reducer generates higher viscosities than conventional friction reducing agents, improving proppant transport.




Acid thickener 


1) Introduction


This product is a kind of cationic or zwitterionic copolymer solid powder. It is used in acidizing or acidizing fracturing measures. It is used for acid fracturing (fracture) stimulation of carbonate reservoirs and delaying the reaction speed between acid and reservoir rocks. and filtration rate.

3) What it replaces 


Common acid thickener are not effective in high temperature and high salt concentration formation.


4) Advantages


  •  Quickly dissolve and increase viscosity in acid solution

  • High temperature resistance (120-160℃)

  • Salt resistance, good compatibility

  • Outstanding friction resistance

  • Effectively reduce acid/rock reaction speed and acid solution
